Crumbled Tofu. I just crumble 400g of tofu in a bowl, add salt, pepper, curry-powder, paprika-powder, chili flakes, and some pre-chopped and dried herbs. I add about 4 shots of soy-milk, mix everything and put it in a glass with the lid on. (I eyeball the amount of spices. Maybe start making one portion (100g Tofu for me) and see how you like the spices. As starting point paprika- and curry-powder are the same amount, as are chili-flakes and herbs.) The original recipe used only cumin, salt and pepper, so just play around till you find something that tastes good.
Heating it up
Relatively simple: Just put margarine and mustard on 2 slices of bread. Put a quarter of the prepared Tofu in a pan. I add another shot of soy-milk to make it stickier. Fry the Tofu and spread it on the Bread.
Dinner
Ingredients
(for 4 portions)
2 onions
600g of brown rice
about 180g of vegan ground-meat (depends on package size)
Chili-flakes, Pepper, Herbs
enough bullion-powder for 3-4 liters, or to taste
some (sesame-)oil
(20g of creatine)
Mealprep
Chop the onions, add a bit of oil to a large pot, add the onions, vegan ground-meat, pepper, herbs and chili-flakes. Fry it until the onions are glassy. Add the rice, about 1.8 Liters of water, bullion-powder and creatine. Let it cook with a lid until all the water is soaked into the rice. Be careful at the end to not burn the rice. Divide the mushy rice into 4 containers and put them in the fridge. There should be a bit of space left in the container for the rice to rise, otherwise the water will squeeze out and turn the rice on the bottom to mush.
Heating it up
If your first meal is after preparation, just eat it, while its warm. Otherwise get a large pan, put some oil in it and fry the rice until its hot. I usually fill the container with warm water to also heat it up. That way I don't have to clean an extra plate. (My containers are made from glass, but can withstand a big heat-difference, do not do, if not sure.)
Lunch
Yea, idk. I should probably eat lunch, but it's extra work. If anyone knows something easy, preferably with lentils, beans or peas, let me know.
Meal-sizes
At some point I calculated the macros I need and it roughly fits. You should probably do the same. Also I take a multi-vitamin/mineral since I don't have the nerve to prepare veggies.
It's all fun and games till you get health problems. I should eat something else, but I get super nervous whenever someone suggests I eat a new food. I do cook some potatoes once a month tho.
You can maybe diversify a bit by adding other stuff while leaving the base the same.
E.g. my go to is oat meal. But you can add apples, bananas, nuts, strawberries, seeds, etc. This should combat the one dimensionality of that lifestyle a bit. At least I hope so, lol.
New uni and friends tell me that I shouldnt eat too much shrimp at the school's cafeteria cause its the only good dish and I will get tired of it. They severely underestimated my love for shrimp. Im motherfucking Bubba from forest Gump, I will eat shrimp in every way, every day, for the rest of my life if I can. I fucking love shrimp.
You mean my first girlfriend? She didn't have shellfish allergy but somehow she was allergic to shrimp specifically. Believe or not it didn't cause much issue but I nvr lived with her so who knows how it could've been
Glad to hear it didn't cause issues! May it never do so in your future. I knew a girl who loved cats and had to get rid of her cat(s) that she had from late childhood/early teens because her boyfriend was severely allergic to cats and there was no other way if they were to live together. Everyone who knew her thought she'd rather give up a guy than the idea of ever having a cat again but well there they go, I think they married two years ago (after dating for like 12 years). But the choice to never live the cats infused life she wanted was hard. Apparently she would have been more willing to compromise on having kids (despite really wanting a family) than on giving up cats.
I discovered vegan maultaschen (dumplings, basically), which have the exact proportion of macronutrients and fiber that I need in my diet at large, and which can be eaten raw, fried, or in broth. They also cost €2.25 for /~600 calories worth, so very cheap for prepared food, but not really that cheap in the end.
Apparently black beans and rice are excelent and really popular in brazil.
Best part is that you can make huge amounts and freeze it, so you don't even have to cook often.
Preferrably add something else to add some more variety to it.
I used to be way more limited and improved over time, but there are still tistic traces.
I am usually willing to experiment with something new, but once I find which variant of it I like most, I'll almost never eat any other variant. I'll make specific meals the exact same way, order the exact same thing at restaurants, and be way happier for it. I also cycle through the same meals over the span of a week for most of them. I eat the same healthyish cereal every day, because while I know cereal isn't healthy, I hate healthy alternatives and how inconvenient they are for a minor meal. I absolutely hate certain mouthfeels or taste combinations. I will always eat onion rings from any restaurant that has them.
I basically expanded my palette by redirecting my autism rather than fighting it. I blacklist instead of whitelist, while creating a set of principles that guide my behavior. I convince my autism to favor healthy foods and variety, using the ridged thinking to combat the ridged thinking.
